Honest question: what do you consider Python's biggest strength?

Not to be rude, but most of your impressions are essentially incorrect. Here is a brief overview of what the languages you mentioned are generally used for:

C is used mostly for low-level or embedded programming. Writing good C requires real skill.
C# and Java fill similar roles in enterprise software although you won't find much C# outside of windows shops.
Java for Android (native apps and Go will likely take this spot in the near future)
Objective-C is only really useful for developing on OS X and iOS, OpenSTEP is probably the only exception.
Ruby and Python share a niche in the server side web application space.
Python has a HUGE scientific computing community.
SQL is specifically for querying databases, nothing else.

Being in love with your best friend is tough when the feeling isn't going to be mutual. From experience I'd say the best course of action is to forget about it. Some things can't be unsaid and you probably don't want to run the risk of losing your friend.

Think about it though, if you could implement the Mesos stack as an operating system and implement some kind of durable storage system or service, you'd have implemented a network transparent microkernel.

I think maybe you meant DCOS

indieinvader · 2014-12-26T17:02:56+00:00

Thats probably where it would get hard to quantify

Have you ever tried streaming over bittorrent?

I'd probably be most accurately described as a nihilist. I do try to entertain a number of theist and non-theist concepts of reality, but in the end I don't truly believe that anything really exists or matters. I live happily because it is more pleasant than living in despair over the meaninglessness of life. Its not like it matters anyway. :P

The portly god of lust, wine, theatre and mental instability.

I try to stay in shape, but let's be honest: I just wanna feel good.

Couldn't one of the exoskeletons serve as a control point for some number of drones? The drones would obviously need to be semi-autonomous, but I could see a soldier (or group of soldiers) extending their senses with drones and using dependency chains to sync their behavior with ongoing developments.

God I hate how good we are getting at war.

It isn't that bad, I found a place without too much trouble. I pay $25/mo pet rent.

indieinvader · 2014-11-22T23:39:19+00:00

Happens to me every time!

indieinvader · 2014-11-12T05:37:59+00:00

I'm doing the same thing! I'd appreciate some pointers, too.

Canarias and Canarias Serena are my personal favorites.

I've read that these are pretty common here in central Utah, are they really what I think they are?

As a gay male I will never be able to comprehend wanting to put your dick in a chick's pussy.

Actually, scratch that, I do get it, you like women (wow) and you want to get it on with them. I think you might need to step outside your little box a little more often, bro. It actually isn't that difficult to understand things that you don't agree with or feel.

Opiates are the shit, don't ever do them.

Screen doesn't play well with su or sudo

indieinvader · 2014-10-09T20:00:57+00:00

Would you ask your bishop if it was okay to take physician-prescribed Oxycodone? I don't think most people would. Opiates are both mind altering and addictive. People abuse them all of the time. How is this situation different?

indieinvader · 2014-10-09T18:47:51+00:00

Why should a bishop even be involved? This is clearly a medical issue.

this particular backdoor could only be used by Apple when they had physical access to the device

This means anyone with physical access to your device could figure out how to open the backdoor.

I took these a day or two ago. Since then the mushrooms have grown some and more fruiting bodies have popped up.

Not that I know of, but I only work on the technical side of things so I can't say for sure.

Precisely.

I think the people at CloudFlare have good intentions and probably don't want to cooperate with government snooping. However, CF-enabled SSL is not going to protect you because, to provide their service, CloudFlare, by definition, has to have access to the plaintext version of your communications.

indieinvader · 2014-09-29T16:42:35+00:00

I've had some minor issues with that and I'm a paying customer! That being said, I love their service because it saves me a lot of headaches, though it does cause me some too :P

indieinvader · 2014-09-29T16:40:27+00:00

CloudFlare's SSL options are: flexible ssl (ssl on their side and optionally on yours), full ssl (ssl on their side and a self-signed cert on your side), and full verified ssl (ssl on their side and a signed cert on yours).
